Supply Chain 4.0 has introduced automation into logistics and supply chain processes, exploiting predictive analytics to better match supply with demand, optimizing operations and using the latest technologies for the last mile delivery such as drones and autonomous robots.

Supply Chain 4.0 presents new methods, techniques, and information systems that support the coordination and optimization of logistics processes, reduction of operational costs as well as the emergence of entirely new services and business processes.

This edited collection includes contributions from leading international researchers from academia and industry. It considers the latest technologies and operational research methods available to support smart, integrated, and sustainable logistics practices focusing on automation, big data, Internet of Things, and decision support systems for transportation and logistics. It also highlights market requirements and includes case studies of cutting-edge applications from innovators in the logistics industry.


The customer interacts with single point marketing channel digitally. The goods or services are delivered as per the accepted instructions. Supply chain 4.0 is composed of things that sense, communicate, analyze and modify their activities. Intelligent things or things with senses and even brain constitute the supply chain things. Human control is there but that is the back end. The actual operations of the supply chain are performed by things - production machines, robots, drones, AGVS, stacks, products, autonomous vehicles, autonomous fork lifts, computers  - cloud, edge, and device-embedded.
